Whether it's covering grays, adding highlights, or blending in balayage, I’m all about making your color look fresh and natural. I also specialize in lived-in color that grows out beautifully! Outside of the salon I’m busy being a new mom, walking my golden retriever while most likely sipping an iced coffee. I’m here to make the process easy and fun, I can’t wait to help you love your hair!

I love what I do, at nearly 3 decades in the industry I still get excited to be a part of my clients lives in a capacity that helps them feel beautiful.

I began my career with GJ in 1999, and have since developed a deep passion for working with women to enhance their daily routines and achieve optimal results for their hair.

I’m a hairstylist with 14 years of experience here at Gene Juarez. I’m excited to split my time between the new Lacey location and Alderwood
I specialize in haircuts, keratin smoothing treatments, and styling all hair types and textures. From long layers to bobs to short detailed cuts, I am here to help you achieve a hairstyle that’s perfect for you. I’m all about fun chats, but if you prefer some quiet time, just let me know!
When I’m not in the salon, I’m hanging out with my 11 nieces and nephews, enjoying an iced oat milk latte, cooking, or going on adventures with my husband. I can’t wait to meet you and help you look and feel your best at our new Lacey location.

My approach is inspired by nature, art, style, and movement. With over 15 years of experience, I began my hairstyling career in 2007, specializing in Design at the Gene Juarez Advanced Training Salon. As an analytical thinker and solution-focused stylist, I’m dedicated to creating looks that are as effortless to maintain as possible. I’m passionate about educating clients how to embrace their natural texture (whatever it may be) for lower maintenance daily routines that allow you to focus on the integrity of the hair and longer term goals, while enjoying the day to day benefits.
